No Woman No Cry

I remember when we used to sitIn the government yard in trenchtownOb-observing the hypocritesAs they would mingle with the good people we meetGood friends we have, oh, good friends we have lostAlong the wayIn this great future, you can't forget your pastSo dry your tears, I said

Said I remember when we used to sitIn the government yard in trenchtownAnd then georgie would make the fire lightsAs it was logwood burning through the nightsThen we would cook cornmeal porridgeOf which I'll share with youMy feet is my only carriageSo I've got to push on through

But while I'm gone, I meanEverything gonna be alright!Everything gonna be alright!Everything gonna be alright!Everything gonna be alright!I said, everything gonna be alright!Everything gonna be alright!Everything gonna be alright, now!Everything gonna be alright!
